A Smart Cock

In a nice and tranquil village, there lived a handsome and smart cock. Next door, there lived a nice hound. They were good friends and often played together. On a nice spring day, the hound suggested that they two should take a trip to the forest to have some fun and could even meet some friends along the way. The cock was excited and agreed with the plan.
They wandered through the trees, immersed in the fresh air and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Near sunset, they decided to rest for the night. They found a tall tree with many branches and it was very suitable for the cock to sleep. At the bottom of the trunk, there was a nice burrow which could fit the hound to rest in, very comfortably.
Next morning, the first ray of sun light woke up the cock high on the tree. He started to sing:” cocka-do-da-do!” from the branch. The hound was still soundly asleep, while the singing by the cock attracted the attention of a hungry red fox. The fox quietly approached the tree and saw the beautiful cock sitting high up there.
Immediately, the fox started to speak to cock with some sweet words, hoping to lure the cock down from the tall tree. After all, it should be a delicious breakfast for the fox.
However, the cock looked through the fox’s trick and definitely would not come down from the tree. He thought to himself that if there should be a way to wake up his friend, the hound.
The cock said to the fox that he definitely would need a ladder in order from him to get down from the tree safely. In fact, there was a rope ladder hidden in the burrow at the bottom of the tree. If the fox could get it out and set it up, he would appreciate it very much.
The fox was more than happy to do that, thinking that a wonderful meal was essentially in his hand. He then quickly stuck his front paw into the burrow and felt around. He touched a rope-like material in there. He then got a hold of it and started to pull it out. Alas, it was the tail of the hound. When the hound was dragged out of the burrow and saw the fox was pulling him out, he jumped up and started to chase the fox.
The fox ran as fast he could and barely got away. At the mean time, the cock was looking down from his perch with a broad smile on his face.

The chicken that laid gold eggs

Far into the high mountains, there was this small village. A poor farther and his wife lived in a rather shabby hut [破旧的小屋]. The live was difficult and harsh at times. While enduring the hardship, they often wished that one day, they could get rich somehow, frequently, they would pray to god to give them a fortune.

One day, god decided to give them a gift in order to change their life. The gift was a healthy but rather ordinarily looking hen. The couple was somewhat disappointed with this fowl [家禽], contemplating [计划，打算] the best way to cook it. The next morning, the farmer went to the cage to fetch the bird. To his great surprise that he found that the hen had laid a gold egg. They were overwhelmed by the sudden and unexpected found given to them by god and extremely grateful and happy about it. For the then, they built a nice and comfortable chicken coop [笼] and fed the bird with best feed that they could gather.

After selling many gold eggs, the couple became richer and richer. However, after a period of time, they became dissatisfied with only one gold egg a day. It would be wonderful only if the hen could lay two or three or even one hundred gold eggs a day, the farmer and his wife thought. Thinking that there must be thousands of gold inside the hen, the farmer one day, decided to find it out. He killed the hen and opened her belly [肚，腹，胃], in search of gold eggs.

Alas, he found that there was only one gold egg inside the hen

一
The City Mouse and the Country Mouse

Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."

The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.

After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."

城里老鼠和乡下老鼠

从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。”

乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。

过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。”

二
The Old Cat
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.

Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."

老猫

一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。

于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鸽子

A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.

Zeal should not outrun discretion.

有只鸽子口渴得很难受，看见画板上画着一个水瓶，以为是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飞过 去，不料一头碰撞在画板上，折断了翅膀，摔在地上，被人轻易地捉住了。

这是说，有些人想急于得到所需的东西，一时冲动，草率从事，就会身遭不幸。

掩耳盗铃
Long, long ago, a man found a very big bell tied to a house door. He wanted to take it away but he couldn't reach it. When the man tried to break it into pieces with a hammer, there was a loud clanging sound. He was afraid that someone would hear the noise, so he immediately covered his ears. But he was caught for others didn't cover their ears. They could hear the noise.
Worrying about other people hearing the noise is understandable, but covering his own ears as if this would prevent others from hearing is absurd.

The Dog and the Shadow
It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace. Now on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath. Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also. So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.

故事内容：
有只狗嘴巴衔著一块肉，准备回家好好享用一番（It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace）。回家的路上（Now on his way home），他得走过一块板子，以便穿越湍急的溪流 （he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook）。正当他走在板子上的时候 （As he crossed），往下看到河里倒映的影子（he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath），以为是另外一只狗衔著另一块肉（Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat），他也想把那块肉抢过来（he made up his mind to have that also），就啪的一声往水里跳（So he made a snap at the shadow in the water），可当他张开口（but as he opened his mouth），嘴里的肉也掉了出来 （the piece of meat fell out），掉进水里 （dropped into the water），消失无踪了 （and was never seen more）。
The moral is that：Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.
小小启发：注意别因为想抓住影子，把看得到的东西给丢了。
